Is it against the Google AdSense terms of use to direct users to click on the ads? I mean I'm not gonna put a big flashing arrow or anything but what about "check out our sponsors" or something subtle like that?

Depends entirely on your content. From the Terms:
Encouraging users to click your Google ads is strictly prohibited - whether directly or indirectly, on your own site, on third-party sites or via email.
In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense programme may not:
... Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language.

Can you clarify? You said it depends, but the passage you quoted made it sound like a definite no. – I wrestled a bear once. Apr 20 '13 at 14:11

Sorry, I slightly mis-interpreted your question. No you can't direct users to click in any way. You would be able to say something simple like "Our sponsors" I believe. – Hates_ Apr 20 '13 at 15:59
