Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at the Cougars.

Washington State will be spotlighted in an HBO show similar to the network's "Hard Knocks" documentary series that follows an NFL team each year.

The Cougars teased the upcoming partnership in a tweet Saturday after rumors surfaced earlier in the week:

An HBO camera crew was in attendance for WSU's practice Friday and spent much of the day following head coach Mike Leach, according to Barry Bolton of 247 Sports.

Leach, who's developed somewhat of a cult following for his highly-entertaining press conferences, will likely be the star of the show.

The offensive genius spent his offseason teaching a noncredit seminar to Washington State students on "Leadership Lessons in Insurgent Warfare and Football Strategies."

"Hard Knocks" is in its 14th season. This year's NFL edition follows the Oakland Raiders.
