By Ben Ward, Max Rothman, Corey Thibodeaux, and Scott Toland
It was an eventful year for the Jayhawks, and The Wave takes a look at the biggest moments in 2009-2010
Sept. 5 Great expectations Senior quarterback Todd Reesing and the Jayhawks headed into the 2009 season with high hopes for a big year. Kansas kicked off the season with a 49-3 victory against Northern Colorado.
Oct. 10 — Last win of the season No one thought that the Jayhawks'last victory of the 2009 season would come against the Iowa State Cyclones. A 41-36 win on homecoming made Kansas 5-0 for the season, but the Jayhawks would go on to lose their next seven games.

Sept.23 Preseason distractions
The Jayhawks started the year with a less-than-ideal beginning when members of the basketball and football teams had a scuffle outside of the Burge Union and another scuffle outside of Wescoe Hall the following day. Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor dislocated his thumb in the process. Junior guard Brady Morningstar had a DWI just a couple of weeks later, causing him to miss the first part of the season.

Nov.28 The Missouri game
The 2009 Border Showdown gave the Jayhawks a chance to defeat their archrivals and put an end to their six-game losing streak. Despite 242 receiving yards from junior receiver Dezmon Briscoe and a career-high 498 passing yards from Todd Reesing, the Jayhawks fell short against the Tigers. After Kansas held a lead with about five minutes left, Missouri sealed a 41-39 victory with a field goal as the final seconds ticked off the clock.
Oct. 15 — Late Night in the Phog There was no better way to quell a rocky preseason than with a fun-filled event such as Late Night in the Phog.The Jayhawks gave fans a first glimpse of the new-look team and all the baggage from the weeks before was soon forgotten.
