She knows how to sack a Super Bowl star.
A groupie guru is coaching ring-chasing chicks on the art of playing the field at the Conrad Hotel & Resort in Indianapolis, where current and former footballers will be staying for the big game.
“Timing is everything,” writes Stephanie Ogbobu, 27.
The Austin, Texas, beauty — who blogs on the groupie-gathering site balleralert.com — recommends prancing around the hotel at 10:30 p.m., just as VIPs are getting back from the day’s events, or at 3 a.m.
“[That] guarantees you are just in time to catch your baller pulling up from the after-party,” she writes.
At this point, it’s impossible to book one of the 243 rooms at the five-star hotel, where the king presidential suite starts at $2,500 a night.
The Downtown Marriott, where the Giants are staying and where the presidential suite costs $1,000 a night, is also booked solid.
But the groupies have a game plan.
They can access such hotels a number of ways: by going to the lobby restaurants or bars or by donning swimsuits and sneaking into a pool area to set the “pool trap.”
“This has to be the oldest trick in the book,” Ogbobu blogs. “Every luxury hotel has a pool, right?”
Her playbook next instructs women to wear skimpy, expensive-looking bikinis, high heels, wet hair and made-up game faces as they stroll around.
“You don’t want to go with the sports colors, because that makes it way too obvious,” she warns.
A classic black swimsuit and a towel seductively slung around the waist are enough to lend a groupie the appearance of belonging as she patrols the halls every half-hour, according to Ogbobu.
“You’re obviously overdressed, thus making you one of the prettiest people at the pool,” she said.
Clubbing is another way to huddle up with a Giant, Ogbobu said.
She recommends trolling the Web to find the big game-week parties. There’s the $500-a-ticket Leather & Laces bash on Friday and the $1,100-a-head ESPN VIP soiree the following night in the Lucas Oil Stadium parking lot.
She also said Mr. Dan’s, a hot 24-hour food joint, is a likely location for an after-party pickup.
But how do you break the ice with a playah?
If it’s an actual Super Bowl participant you’re targeting, say, “Hey, nice game. You killed it.”
But, Ogbobu adds, “they’re not looking to have someone to have a conversation with.”
The best way to tackle a Giant, Patriot or other NFL hot shot is to do some pregame tweeting.
“These ballers — not all of them are very bright. They want to have a good time. Tell them you’re going to be there” on Twitter, she said. “They’re going to send you their telephone numbers.
“It’s that simple.”
