Why do they call people who live in the U.P. of Michigan "Yoopers"?

Question

Don't mess with dem der YOOPERS!!!

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two
semi-finalists:
a) a Yale graduate;
b) an Upper Michigander.

They were given a single word, then allowed two minutes to come up with a poem containing that word. The word they were given was "TIMBUKTU".

The Yale graduate stepped up the microphone and said:
"SLOWLY ACROSS THE DESERT SAND
TREKKED A LONELY CARAVAN.
MEN ON CAMELS - TWO BY TWO
DESTINATION - TIMBUKTU".

The crowd went crazy! No way could the Yooper top that, they
thought.

The Upper Michigander calmly made his way to the microphone, and recited:
"ME AND TIM A HUNTIN' WENT,
MET T'REE WHORES IN A POP-UP TENT.
DEY WAS T'REE, AND WE WAS TWO
SO I BUCKED ONE, AND TIMBUKTU."

The Yooper won hands down.
