I haven't seen anything too "out of line" as far as late celebrations. Yes you don't want  to see it, but they are college kids playing a game, they aren't hardened pros. Believe it or not, they actually are out there to have some fun.

I imagine part of the celebrating is a bit of over-celebrating in an attempt to up the energy levels of the team as a whole. When the team is fired up and the energy is flowing, everybody plays better (anybody who has ever played a sport at even the high school level should be able to understand this). When your play between the whistles matters more than the stuff after whistles (unless you go and do something invariably stupid costing your team field position), getting yourself fired up to help you play better (even when the game is out of hand) makes a difference.

Now that said there are plenty of guys who can go out there and make a play without jumping around like they've lost it, but some guys just need to do something crazy to keep themselves going.
