seriously webbies! i know you guys have to make money to support this, for which i'm grateful and supportive of with our money, but when you work a deal with someone, why not work in a clause to NOT promote our rivals?

the CBS Sports banner is promoting TCU v. SDSU. and i know, a lot of people want to see them lose (i'll be watching). but on prinicple, this is like having a TCU billboard at Central & SMU Boulevard

I believe that the webbies have stated before that they use Google Adsense, which displays ads relevant to each individual user based upon their location and browsing history. Nothing the webbies can really do other than ending their relationship with Google AdSense which would probably mean that they would have to start charging for PF.

I pay already!

i understand how adsense works, and i know why TCU ads are all of a sudden popping up. doesn't mean i can't complain about it. it's the internet, that's what it's for.

The Rent is TOO Damn High Candidate might find SMU's new $40.33 season ticket package quite reasonable and affordable. That would make a hilarious commercial

PonyFans.com is part of the 5th largest online sports network (after Yahoo! Sports, ESPN, FOX and NFL Internet Group) Big Lead Sports.

Accept for our sponsors like RejeX.com, Gameday Cloth and Lakewood's 1st & 10, all our adspace is brokered by Big Lead Sports to the highest bidder.

We don't actually see or approve these ads ahead of time. In the rare occasion that they run an ad that we find offensive or causes technical problems, we have veto power.

If Dutch has an issue with the TCU ad, the solution is simple: up your sponsorship to 2 Point Burgers, cheese fries, and 4 beers per month. :lol: Just kidding.

For whatever it's worth, I told them to pull the TCU ads. After all, Gary doesn't want our help anymore... right?
