Penn State's future, drunken Iowa fans, program reboot, and a 14 hour game

This week Times-Shamrock Penn State writer Donnie Collins takes us inside the press box in a behind-the-scenes look at how we cover Penn State football.

Donnie talks about whether or not the Nittany Lions can ever win a national championship, when Joe Paterno should have retired,  if he ever gets James Franklin angry, and more.
