Clutch pedal won't move.

Well I took my Megacab down to Riverside CA two weeks ago. All was good until the clutch pedal started acting up. It seems to only happen when I accellerate hard or get up to 80mph. Pedal won't push in and can not get truck out of gear. I had to pullover turn truck of pull tranny out of gear and force pedal down and pump several times before it would free up. Doesn't give me any problems if if I accelerate slowly and keep it under 75mph.
Any thoughts? I am thinking it may be a bad throw out bearing ,but it does not make any noise. Could the clutch already be shot? Only 20,000 miles on the truck. Thanks, in advance.
