Greivis Vasquez: you love him or you hate him. You either admire his helter-skelter game and celebratory antics or you think he's a loose cannon on the court and a head-case who focuses too much on the crowd.

Me, I love watching the big Maryland senior guard play.

In the Terps methodical 77-68 win over Florida State in their ACC season opener Sunday, Vasquez was back to being his whirling-dervish self, scoring 22 points (17 in the second half) and setting the we-won't-back-down tone for his team.

Unfortunately, he also broke out one of the ugliest celebratory dances ever seen in the history of NCAA sports, a shoulder-rolling, hip-swaying shimmy move that should be banned from the Comcast Center and anywhere else decent, God-fearing citizens congregate to watch sports.

 Announcer Dan Bonner got one look at the shimmy and promptly wondered aloud if Vasquez would "hurt himself."

 I don't know about that. But it sure hurt me.

Loved the game, hated the dance. he ought to lose that one in a hurry.
