I have a few questions.
1. I've already had a beer. Is it wrong? What time is it ok to start drinking on gameday?
2 .Do most college football programs have sports psychologists on staff? I read something last week about Saban employing a sort of motivation/perform your best type guru and I was curious is this is pretty much standard practice.

Hmm...
Go Blue!
Turn Up!
I have no rule as to when to start drinking especially on football saturdays. I probably won't start until 1ish since Michigan plays at 2:30. By game time I plan on being hammered.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!

2) Sorry. I'm a hillbilly accountant. I've got nothing for you here.
Go Blue.
Follow-up
Regarding your second point, I need some clarification. Are you an accountant that is also a hillbilly, an accountant that specializes in hillbilly finances, or an accountant who keeps track of hillbillies?

I'll tell you what he is, He's a genius. Moonshiners make a lot of money, but they can't be expected to take care of their own finances. There's a vacuum for this type of work, particularly in the south. Plus, hillbillies are simple. They can't spell embezzlement, let alone recognize when someone is doing it to them.
The correct answer is D: all

I told myself I wouldn't start until gametime but I have a twleve of New Belgium's Red Hoptober that I'm eager to break into.

My opinion, all rules to
My opinion, all rules to drinking are thrown out the window on football Saturday, or Sunday for that matter. Tailgating: appropriate as soon as the vehicle is in the park position. At home: whenever the mood strikes you.

When home I always crack my first beer at the kickoff. And it must be finished by the first score. -kickoff returns get tricky.

Drinking And Counseling
To answer the OPs questions:
1) Of the words "wrong", "drinking" and "gameday", one of these words does not belong in a sentence with the other two. As I have a hard cider right now, I believe it is the first word mentioned.
2) At least at Michigan, I think there are two counselors among the athletic support staff in the department. I imagine that most departments around the country would have at least one or draw on some dedicated facility like UMHS with a sports medicine or sports psychology staff so there would at least be access to the right people.

NOT drinking at any time on gameday is wrong.
How's that?

I'm waiting until 11:30 - not because of some moral/society regulation, I'm just giving my prevacid time to work. I've had a rough 28 years.
On the team psychologist topic, I'm sure every team has access to one. I'm going to school for psychology, and would love to eventually motivate athletes.
Oh yeah, 6 pack of Sweetwater 420 for me! Mmmmm

If
You are under 30 and not an alcoholic, then drink away. If you are over 30, then you may want to pace yourself.

Over 30
Since i'm well over 30 I'll take that advice. I'm dri king lots of coffee now and will go on a long run to prepare myself to eat chile cheese fries and wings and drink my makers Mark 5 minutes before kickoff. The amount I drink will be inversely proportionate to the Wolverines performance.

4 AM
I've been drinking at a nice slow pace since 4 AM your time but that is 4 PM where I am in the world! Trying to grab a few hours of shut eye before kick off but I'm in an excellent state of mental awareness at the moment. Watching Corso and hoping for an "ah, fuck it" from him.
I'll be done with drinking by game time...at least I think I will as long as the game goes well. Oh, there is Devin Smith. Musberger sucks.
Last Saturday I was
Last Saturday I was tailgating with a beer in my hand at 8am and that was after getting a head start the night before. I'd say your problem is that you didn't start earlier.

Saturdays
in the fall are definitely the exception to the rule. I'm totally ok with drinking as soon as either a) you start tailgating.
OR
b) Gameday comes on

I have never
quit drinking since my first one, I just take breaks between, minutes, hours, days or weeks. Cheers!
Seems like very program that can afford it should have a psychologist sort who can help keep student athletes on balance, helping them focus and keep their priorities in order. Go Blue!

I once had a job
where they would start drinking gin and squirt at six am. That was the best job ever. For guidance though, we should look to our elders. The religiously inclined may heed Acts 2:15 which says anytime after 9 am is kosher. For those who would look to other prophets, remember the words of the latter day saint Jim Morrison, "I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer."
A buddy of mine here in Grand Rapids
always gets to A2 around 7 AM every game and starts drinking right when he gets there.
And he's totally fine
You should be more than 1 beer deep
