Yup, it was 308.

Don't forget the 3rd team on that alliance, Team 45.

Some other alliances of note who haven't been mentioned:
1999 - Teams 27 & 71 -- They won two regionals together and were semifinalists (equivalent to a division winner) at the championship.
2001 - Teams 33, 254, 111, 349(who grew into Team 469) & 144 (who grew into Team 1038) -- A real who's who of FIRST history, were only be defeated by the mighty Team 71 at the Championship
2003 - Teams 111, 469, 65 -- Championship event winners in dominant fashion
