Update: The phrase Jock Sniffer-Sniffer is officially approved in the Urban Dictionary. We need to recognize these under rated and underappreciated freaks. Please check out the link and vote for it. Link is here
We recently submitted a variation to the definition ‘jock-sniffer’ in the Urban (Herban) Dictionary. We felt that the jock sniffer-sniffers of the college football world were not receiving their props. We sit with our fingers crossed, hoping for editor approval and that this huge population receives credit for the service that they provide to sports, athletes and the fans that sniff the athletes jocks .

(Even Sharks have Jock Sniffers)
As an example, to a Tennessee Volunteers Generals Quarters message board poster, being called a jock sniffer is the best thing that can happen. Being a jock sniffer means you’re hanging around the athletes just for the thrill of being in their company, and that you’d never post anything negative on a message board, even if it was warranted.
Sadly, The Generals Quarters population, rarely use the term on their colleagues anymore, but that’s because they’ve broken down jock sniffing into categories. The poster with a slavish devotion to the team on his beat is a “homer.” The poster with a slavish devotion to a particular player would be that player’s “bobo,” “caddie” or “boy.” (Hat-tip to GallaVol for this commentary)
Jock Sniffer-Sniffer
A person who seeks a homoerotic friendship with a already documented and established (‘made’) Jock-Sniffer of an amateur athlete, coach, or parent of the athlete. Jock Sniffer-Sniffers routinely frequent college football message boards seeking their targets.
Jock Sniffer-Sniffer used in a sentence:
Mark wants to be a jock sniffer, but he does not have the connections to the athletes or the coaches. So he hangs out with established or ‘made’ Jock Sniffers, Larry and Burl, who claim to know athletes and/or coaches. Mark’s worship of Larry and Burl creates the Jock Sniffer-Sniffer relationship.
