Default Wierd Clutch Problem

I went to start my car after work the other day and my clutch pedal was resting on the floor! I pulled it back up with my hand and pushed it down and it just stayed there. This has never happened before, so whats going on? Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

If the fluid level is good then i would want to say the clutch master cylinder bit the dust.

Sounds like you need to upgrade your clutch, a new stage 2 with a light flywheel will do just fine! But yeah you master cylinder sounds like its bad.

Ok guys here is an update. My first thought was the master cylinder, so I ordered one and it will be here Tuesday. Hopefully that will fix it. My clutch is a competition clutch stage 2 with a zpi 9lb flywheel. Great combo by the way. I'll let you guys now what happens Tuesday. Keep the suggestions coming. Thnaks for the help.
