Cliff PotterCliff Potter

Cliff Potter has written sporting articles for several years, but still has the dubious distinction of being a lawyer. You will have to excuse him for that! An ardent fan of UNC - Chapel Hill as well as the ACC, Cliff has been particularly excited by the Tar Heels' football talent over the past few years, and the Tar Heels outstanding basketball teams since the 1960s. Unlike many, Cliff actually remembers seeing Ken Willard and his team play Air Force, and knew (very slightly) Billy Cunningham. Go Heels!
