Hoopies.

Is that the same as a hooper or something else?

It's a derogatory term.

An insult (worse than hillbilly) given to residents of West Virginia. According to history, the city of East Liverpool OH, across the river from WV, was an important maker of pottery. West Virginia residents looking for work in the area were only skilled enough to bang together the metal strips that would make the hoops needed for barrel construction.
Then Pitt fans adopted the term...
