If anyone knows of more to add, please do.

A quote from the article:

"In particular, Alabama’s intraconference rivalry with Georgia — and Patterson’s rivalry with the former Georgia coach Suzanne Yoculan — spawned increased regional and even national interest in the sport. “Sarah & Suzanne,” a documentary in ESPNU’s “SEC Storied” series broadcast this year, depicts a football-like atmosphere at women’s gymnastics meets: tailgating, cheers (and boos) and face-painted fans."

I saw the documentary mentioned, so I had heard of her.

Kudos for posting - women's sports do not begin and end with WBB.
