it sickens me that everyone is assuming cobb’s ex-girlfriend is automatically a “whore” because she took his threats to the authorities. his ex-girlfriend is a girl i’ve known half my life and she is anything but a whore. saying she just wants attention is not true either. she wanted her name out of the limelight, she just wanted cobb to leave her alone. the text messages and emails are real and were submitted to the police as well as the judge. just because those texts and emails weren’t broadcasted on the news or internet for everyone to see doesn’t mean they don’t exist. whether he meant what he said, he shouldn’t of said it. there was a legit reason as to why she was scared.

Dear People, This is football… we expect people that play football to be aggressive. Maybe this girl isn’t so innocent? Hmmmmm maybe? Maybe she’s some dumb whore who pushed him too far. Let’s take his side because he plays for UK and I like the wildcats. LOL I hate girls… they’re all stupid.

I KNOW HIM. HE WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THERE IS A SIDE THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT HIM. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE KNOWN HIM IN THE PAST AND THINK HE WOULD NOT DO THIS, YOU DON’T KNOW THE REAL ASHTON COBB. DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR HIM.

scared of Ashton? no way. the kid has SEVEN sisters. i’m sure he wouldn’t want someone threatening any of his sisters like that. he’s a good guy and some girl is just mad because he’s moved on.

Joe, I have looked at this from both sides. And I\’m a female so I\’ve even looked at it from that point of view as well. But if you look at some other forums and stuff, it\’s getting out of hand with what people are saying. So I\’m just playing devil\’s advocate here. Also, there is TONS of hearsay flying around BUT I have mutual friends with them and I have heard nothing spectacular about the ex-girlfriend. This wouldn\’t be the first time she\’s tried to get at him.

And as far as the university suspending him, I honestly don\’t think they were going off evidence. If she had enough evidence in the first place, would he have entered a non-guilty plea? I think the university is scared that if they didn\’t do it, it would send the wrong message out to the public, especially since UK is HUGE on the women\’s protection center and everything. It\’s all about perception.

I just think to take away his education as well as football is ridiculous. These charges get brought up in court all the time and no one is suspended from their jobs during it. His pretrial isn\’t until the 24th, so he\’s pretty much screwed out of this semester. fair? no way.

jlask: the only thing i’m going to say to you is that if you want someone to take you seriously on things like this learn to spell, use the spacebar, and dont talk in “text” language.
hey hey: the university obviously had some overwhelming evidence and were not just going on her words to re-act the way they did. I agree with you that this has become way to public. I think the truth needs to be told and with it being so public the truth gets twisted out of control.
It is true that he is innocent until proven guilty but it seems like everyone is just thinking of him. Does anyone wonder that she might have been in legit danger and extremely scared for her life? does anybody care that she might never be able to walk on campus without being scared? NO ONE DESERVES things like this. There is no such thing as “egging” on threats like this! Just try looking at it from both sides and then see what you can come up with.

i think the university overreacted by suspending him. what happened to innocent until proven guilty? honestly this is being blown out of proportion. i know several females who have done something like this for revenge. and who is going to question the word of the “scared lil female” who is accusing her big black football player ex of all this? no one because it would send the wrong message to the public.

and obviously there are tons of factors that won’t be released like if she actually has the texts or voicemail files or if they are simply taking her word for it and if they were even actually sent by him.

i say we quit judging and leave it to the people involved. since when has any other stalking case gotten this much media attention? people are just morbid. until then, Ashton deserves to still be in school and on the field.
