I may have my Sandlapper status revoked ...
... Sandlapper is a nickname for folks from South Carolina, in case you were wondering. There are other nicknames out there, but most of them aren't very flattering.
Anyway, I'm in danger of getting kicked out of the club because reader Louis Cook, a Palmetto State native who somehow wondered all the way off to Oakland, Calif., correctly noted that I screwed up the hometown of Darrien Durant (apologies to UNC fans as well). I wrote yesterday that Durant is from Orangeburg, S.C. when he actually hails from Florence.
To make up for it, I promise to leave a framed photo of Myrtle Beach native Vanna White at the foot of the Giant Peach in Gaffney as an offering of atonement.
