Correct me if I'm wrong--I'm just reading your post:

"I had a seminary teacher who said that the 84 season was part of the latter day work.

God directs the latter day work.

God directs the missionary work in the LDS church.

Actually, I found out this guy died a few years ago and left 3 kids. Sad.
(And for the record, I could have kicked his ass if I had wanted to. He was a wiry twerp).

byu = god's university.
I'll admit I wasn't clear on this point. His questioning was along the lines of how could I not root for god's team?

byu == church. god controls church, god controls byu.
ditto on the clarity.
