Welcome to another addition of Icetime with the Iceman Brandon Cohn. This week's topics include UTEP vs. #4 Oklahoma, the Dallas Cowboys kickoff against the New York Giants in one week, the 'Dez Bryant rules,' Roger Clemens, and former Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd is going back to jail for trying to arrange another drug deal...

It WILL be a big game. The Sun Bowl WILL have a better atmosphere for fun and tailgating. The Miners ARE healthy. But as the Miners kick off against the Sooners this Saturday night in the Sun Bowl,  there was one word you didn't hear from UTEP head coach Mike Price -- "win".

Last season was quite a challenge for the UTEP basketball team to say the least.  The squad, which  predominantly consisted of freshmen, finished the season under .500 with a record of 15-17.  UTEP made it to the Quarterfinal round of the C-USA Tournament before losing to Memphis.

The Miami Heat advanced to the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year by eliminating the Boston Celtics, 101-88, in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday. The Heat will play the Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA’s Western Conference champions, in the 2012 NBA Finals, starting Tuesday night in Oklahoma City.

It's official. Mike Price said he wanted a huge football game for the UTEP home opener and now he has it. The Miners released their 2012 football schedule, which opens up with the Oklahoma Sooners at the Sun Bowl.

Hordes of football enthusiasts took the title of crazed fans to a new level on Saturday. After #3 ranked Oklahoma State took care of #10 Oklahoma 44-10, thousands of fans rushed the field, tearing down goalposts, and leaving 13 people injured, including two in critical condition.

Because this year's 'game of the century' didn't have enough points to satisfy most fans (north of the Mason Dixon line and west of the Mississippi) there is tons of sentiment that under no circumstances should LSU and Alabama play again for the BCS National Championship game...

Even though he's on vacation, Duke Keith makes his pro and college football picks for the weekend of Oct. 8-11.

As we get ready for college basketball's National Championship game tonight, here are five things I learned this week in sports.
