For example, Louisiana Ragin' Cajun basketball will be in Puerto Rico next week, playing three games in six days.

Auburn men's basketball is currently in Israel on a summer tour, playing games, practicing, and touring the country.

One of the destinations for the Tigers was the Dead Sea.

When visiting the Dead Sea, it's important not to fart while in the water.

Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl learned that lesson in the past.

Due to the amount salt in the Dead Sea (34% salinity), orifices will burn, especially if opened.

It's worth noting you shouldn't pee in the Dead Sea either.

In regards to coach Pearl's flatulence warning, it appears Auburn Director of Basketball Communications Marlene Navor didn't heed it.

And this concludes today's lesson on withholding farts while floating in the Dead Sea.

Stacker delved into the story behind every NFL football team name. Overall team records, also included, are reflective of NFL regular-season games. There are some football teams with well-known nicknames—the Jets, for instance, are often referred to as Gang Green—but we also divulge how some teams’ official names are sparingly used (the Jets’ neighbors, the Giants, are actually known as the New York Football Giants). Sometimes a team name can tell you a lot about local history: The Vikings of Minnesota draw upon the area’s strong ties to Scandinavia, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dripping in local legend related to Florida’s pirate past.

Let’s kick off the countdown with the folks who earned their nickname by buying boxes of used team jerseys.
