a sad day for my clutch....

i pulled out of my house today and noticed the clutch pedal sticking a little -it wouldnt "pop" back out all the way after a shift....i would have to manually put my foot under the pedal and pull it back out. so it did that on and off for a few shifts or so then stopped, i thought nothing more of it. come to about half an hour later, im driving down the road and the motor justs starts reving high in 5th gear, and i start to smell the burning smell of the clutch, i try other gears, but the result is the same, the clutch enagages, but not enough as to where my engine wont rev insanely high. So i pull over and open my hood and smoke comes billowing out from the clutch. i had to have my GSX towed to be fixed now...weeee....im just curious as to what the problem is and what could have caused this!?!?!?!?

This didnt happen to happen [clutch sticking] while you were making a left hand turn, did it? If so, you may have more than the clutch to worry about, walking motor?

nope....no "engine walking" it just slipped going down the road and wouldnt re engage then i started to rev really high

Sound to me like you didn't have enough hydralic pressure to disenage the clutch, maybe it disenaged half way and burnt up ur disc?
