Golden Hurricane

The eponymn of the athletic teams and student body at the University of Tulsa (TU), a nice school of about 3,000 located (obviously) in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The team was originally the "Golden Tornadoes" after an announcer proclaimed them to playing as if they were one. However an even smaller school, now defunct, already laid claim to the name so TU renamed themselves the golden hurricane.

NOTE: If you simply call TU the "Hurricanes," you are incorrect. About 17 different schools, most notably Miami (FL) already call themselves that.

Whenever TU kicks the living daylight out of Rice, on one side of Skelly, the students scream "Golden" and in typical cat-call fashion, the other side (mostly alumni) yell "Hurricane." When you put them together you have "Golden Hurricane."
