School officials have confirmed the passing of Pontiff and have scheduled a press conference for 2:00 p.m. Athletic Director Skip Bertman and head baseball coach Smoke Laval will be in attendance.

Pontiff attended a New Orleans Zephyrs baseball game last night with his father . Both he and his dad got home late last night. A family member went to wake him this morning and was unable to get him up. Attempts to revive Pontiff failed.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been released, but we will bring them to you as soon as we have them.

Pontiff was 21 years old.

That's sad. It's true you never know when your number is up. I have had a few close calls and just tell myself "it wasn't my time".

When it's your time,it's your time.No negotiations.I have no fear of death itself.Me and the reaper have been dancing with each other for a long time.And one of these days I'll trip over his feet.I just worry about who I'm leaving behind to grieve and feel pain.I have lost alot of people I love and I have felt pain and I hate that anyone else will have to feel that when i go.:(
