I would imagine so, if it's only a u-joint. You said it's going through all gears without the clutch and not stalling? And your gears aren't grinding from shifting without the clutch? Please correct me if I misread what your saying, but if this is true, I'd say you have bigger problems than just a u-joint.

and blowing the clutch is a good possibility....but if the u joint snapped, wouldnt pieces be everywhere, and i just heard a quick snap type sound..like a click after i nailed 3rd and she died...

i did the same thing. i was leaving a bar at 2 am and i did this huge burnout from 1st to 2nd and my clutch ate $hit. on the clutch disc itself, the friction plates on both sides of the disc separated. i got a stage 2 racing clutch now and damn my clutch pedal is sooooo hard lol
