00:00 Talking with Charman Smith this week about Tara Vander Veer, who is about to break Coach
00:07 Kaye's all-time victories record.
00:09 It was interesting, I thought, that she really, really enjoys the matchups against Stanford,
00:15 her old school, and matching wits with Tara.
00:21 She hasn't beaten her yet.
00:22 She's 0-8, as almost everybody is against Tara Vander Veer.
00:27 She's very difficult to beat.
00:29 Charman relishes the opportunity for her Cal teams to play Stanford, and she knows that
00:34 sooner or later her Bears will win.
00:37 Their next opportunity is February 16th over at Maples.
00:40 She's obviously rooting for Tara to get this record, and has taken a lot from her experience
00:47 not only playing for her, but as an assistant coach.
00:51 But the next step for her is for her Golden Bears to beat Stanford at some point.
00:56 Not sure if this team is quite ready to do that, but they're inching closer perhaps,
01:00 and all along the way, Charman Smith is excited to have those competitions.
