I believe a Golden Hurricane is in reference to oil shooting out of the ground. That is not a natural disaster, but one of nature's blessings to anyone who has drilled the well. All tree huggers though would probably view the same as a natural disaster. The porn reference is to a "shower" which to some is also exciting. To each their own.
Actually, the name came about because someone made a comment about the team "roaring through opponents" in practice and the coach came up with the idea of calling them the "Golden Tornadoes." However, he found out that the name was taken by Georgia Tech and so after a vote by the team, they decided to call themselves the "Golden Hurricane."
