Keep in mind that the TV games are usually the big hyped games for other teams too. I've been to enough other places that I'm confident in saying we hold our own with them. There are very few places that can get any kind of student turnout for garbage opponents and I still think our students are good for the big games.
I don't disagree with your point that it used to be better here, but really only for a small stretch where we were literally a top 5 team in the country for some of that. Tough standard
